Paralyzed Bride Walks Down Aisle

Thanks to the Detroit Free Press, Jennifer Darmon and family:

"Paralyzed from the hips down after a car accident , Jennifer wore leg braces under her strapless white gown and took the first step down the ailse, carefully holding the arm of her father, Alan, and her brother, Kevin. "I'll take this slow, sweet walk with you," her uncle Tony sang, trying to keep his composure through a song written by Edwin McCain. And then Jennifer looked up and saw Mike Belawetz, the love of her life, the man who refused to leave her after the July 27, 2008 car accident.

"Today proved that you can achieve anything you set your mind on" Alan Darmon said.

Rev. Robert J. Verkoyen, a pastor at Rock of Help Christian Centre in Essex, Ont., told the bride and groom that they had been "shining examples of love and commitment."
